1 Samoela 19
1 Ary Saoly niresaka tamin’ i Jonatana zanany sy tamin’ ny mpanompony rehetra ny amin’ izay hahafaty an’ i Davida. Fa Jonatana, zanak’ i Saoly, kosa tia dia tia an’ i Davida.
And Saul speaketh unto Jonathan his son, and unto all his servants, to put David to death,
2 Ary Jonatana nanambara tamin’ i Davida hoe: Saoly raiko mitady hamono anao; koa, masìna ianao, tandremo ny tenanao rahampitso maraina, ary mitoera amin’ izay fitoerana mangingina, ka miere;
and Jonathan son of Saul delighted exceedingly in David, and Jonathan declareth to David, saying, 'Saul my father is seeking to put thee to death, and, now, take heed, I pray thee, in the morning, and thou hast abode in a secret place, and been hidden,
3 ary izaho hivoaka ka hitsangana eo anilan’ ikaky amin’ ny saha izay misy anao, dia hiresaka aminy ny aminao; koa izay hitako dia hambarako aminao.
and I — I go out, and have stood by the side of my father in the field where thou [art], and I speak of thee unto my father, and have seen what [is coming], and have declared to thee.'
4 Ary Jonatana nilaza soa an’ i Davida tamin’ i Saoly rainy, ka hoy izy taminy: Aoka ny mpanjaka tsy hanisy ratsy an’ i Davida mpanompony, fa izy tsy nanisy ratsy anao, sady nahasoa anao indrindra ny nataony,
And Jonathan speaketh good of David unto Saul his father, and saith unto him, 'Let not the king sin against his servant, against David, because he hath not sinned against thee, and because his works for thee [are] very good;
5 fa izy efa nanao ny ainy tsy ho zavatra ka namono ny Filistina, ary Jehovah nahavita famonjena lehibe ho an’ ny Isiraely rehetra; ianao nahita izany ka faly; koa nahoana no dia hanota handatsaka rà marina ianao ka hahafaty foana an’ i Davida?
yea, he putteth his life in his hand, and smiteth the Philistine, and Jehovah worketh a great salvation for all Israel; thou hast seen, and dost rejoice, and why dost thou sin against innocent blood, to put David to death for nought?'
6 Ary Saoly nihaino ny tenin’ i Jonatana ka nianiana hoe: Raha velona koa Jehovah, dia tsy hatao maty izy.
And Saul hearkeneth to the voice of Jonathan, and Saul sweareth, 'Jehovah liveth — he doth not die.'
7 Ary Jonatana niantso an’ i Davida ka nanambara izany rehetra Izany taminy, dia nitondra an’ i Davida ho eo amin’ i Saoly, ka dia nitoetra teo anatrehany tahaka ny teo aloha ihany indray izy.
And Jonathan calleth for David, and Jonathan declareth to him all these words, and Jonathan bringeth in David unto Saul, and he is before him as heretofore.
8 Ary mbola nisy ady ihany; dia nivoaka Davida ka niady tamin’ ny Filistina ary nahafaty betsaka, ka dia nandositra azy ireny.
And there addeth to be war, and David goeth out and fighteth against the Philistines, and smiteth among them — a great smiting, and they flee from his face.
9 Ary nisy fanahy ratsy avy tany amin’ i Jehovah tonga tao amin’ i Saoly, raha nipetraka tao an-tranony izy sy nitana ny lefony teny an-tànany; ary Davida nitendry lokanga tamin’ ny tànany.
And a spirit of sadness [from] Jehovah is unto Saul, and he is sitting in his house, and his javelin in his hand, and David is playing with the hand,
10 Ary Saoly nihendry hamely an’ i Davida tamin’ ny lefona, ka hataony miboroaka mihatra amin’ ny rindrina; fa izy nisoroka niala teo anatrehan’ i Saoly, ka ny rindrina no voan’ ny lefona; dia nandositra Davida ka afaka tamin’ iny alina iny ihany.
and Saul seeketh to smite with the javelin through David, and through the wall, and he freeth himself from the presence of Saul, and he smiteth the javelin through the wall; and David hath fled and escapeth during that night.
11 Ary Saoly naniraka olona hankany amin’ ny tranon’ i Davida hiambina azy hahafaty azy raha maraina; fa Mikala, vadin’ i Davida, nilaza taminy hoe: Raha tsy mamonjy ny ainao anio alina ianao, dia hatao maty raha maraina.
And Saul sendeth messengers unto the house of David to watch him, and to put him to death in the morning; and Michal his wife declareth to David, saying, 'If thou art not delivering thy life to-night — tomorrow thou art put to death.'
12 Ary Mikala nampidina an’ i Davida tamin’ ny varavarankely; ka dia lasa nandositra izy ka afaka.
And Michal causeth David to go down through the window, and he goeth on, and fleeth, and escapeth;
13 Ary nalain’ i Mikala ny sampy, dia napetrany teo amin’ ny farafarany, ka nosaronany makarakara volon’ osy ny lohany, dia norakofany ny lamba izy.
and Michal taketh the teraphim, and layeth on the bed, and the mattress of goats' [hair] she hath put [for] his pillows, and covereth with a garment.
14 Ary nony naniraka haka an’ i Davida Saoly, dia hoy ny vavy: Marary izy.
And Saul sendeth messengers to take David, and she saith, 'He [is] sick.'
15 Ary Saoly naniraka ny olona hizaha an’ i Davida indray ka nanao hoe: Ento miakatra atỳ amiko amin’ ny farafara izy hovonoiko.
And Saul sendeth the messengers to see David, saying, 'Bring him up in the bed unto me,' — to put him to death.
16 Dia niditra ny iraka, kanjo, indro, ny sampy no teo am-parafara, ary voasaron’ ilay makarakara volon’ osy ny lohany.
And the messengers come in, and lo, the teraphim [are] on the bed, and the mattress of goats' [hair], [for] his pillows.
17 Dia hoy Saoly tamin’ i Mikala: Nahoana ianao no namitaka ahy toy izany ka nandefa ny fahavaloko, ary afa-nandositra izy? Fa hoy Mikala tamin’ i Saoly: Hoy izy tamiko: Avelao aho handeha, fandrao hovonoiko
And Saul saith unto Michal, 'Why thus hast thou deceived me — that thou dost send away mine enemy, and he is escaped?' and Michal saith unto Saul, 'He said unto me, Send me away: why do I put thee to death?'
18 Dia nandositra Davida ka afaka ary tonga tany amin’ i Samoela tany Rama, dia nambarany azy izay rehetra nataon’ i Saoly taminy; ary nandeha izy sy Samoela ka nonina tany Naiota.
And David hath fled, and is escaped, and cometh in unto Samuel to Ramath, and declareth to him all that Saul hath done to him, and he goeth, he and Samuel, and they dwell in Naioth.
19 Ary nisy nanambara tamin’ i Saoly hoe: Indro, Davida ao Naiota any Rama.
And it is declared to Saul, saying, 'Lo, David [is] in Naioth in Ramah.'
20 Ary Saoly naniraka olona hisambotra an’ i Davida; ary nony hitan’ ireo ny mpaminany tafangona sy maminany ary Samoela mitsangana eo ho lohany, dia tonga tamin’ ny irak’ i Saoly ny Fanahin’ Andriamanitra, ka dia mba naminany koa izy.
And Saul sendeth messengers to take David, and they see the assembly of the prophets prophesying, and Samuel standing, set over them, and the Spirit of God is on Saul's messengers, and they prophesy — they also.
21 Ary nony nisy nanambara izany tamin’ i Saoly, dia naniraka olon-kafa izy, ary ireo koa dia mba naminany. Ary Saoly naniraka olonkafa indray fanintelony, nefa naminany ihany koa ireo.
And they declare [it] to Saul, and he sendeth other messengers, and they prophesy — they also; and Saul addeth and sendeth messengers a third time, and they prophesy — they also.
22 Ary dia lasa nankany Rama koa ny tenany, ary tonga tao amin’ ny lavaka lehibe famorian-drano izay ao Seko izy ka nanontany hoe: Aiza Samoela sy Davida? Ary hoy ny anankiray: Indreo ao Naiota any Rama izy.
And he goeth — he also — to Ramath, and cometh in unto the great well which [is] in Sechu, and asketh, and saith, 'Where [are] Samuel and David?' and [one] saith, 'Lo, in Naioth in Ramah.'
23 Dia nankany Naiota any Rama Saoly, ary tonga tao aminy koa ny Fanahin’ Andriamanitra, dia nandroso izy sady naminany teny am-pandehanana ambara-pahatongany tany Naiota any Rama.
And he goeth thither — unto Naioth in Ramah, and the Spirit of God is upon him — him also; and he goeth, going on, and he prophesieth till his coming in to Naioth in Ramah,
24 Ary nanaisotra ny fitafiany koa izy ka mba naminany tahaka ny sasany teo anatrehan’ i Samoela, ary izy nandry nitanjaka mandritra iny andro sy alina iny. Koa izany no nanaovan’ ny olona hoe: Saoly koa moa mba isan’ ny mpaminany?
and he strippeth off — he also — his garments, and prophesieth — he also — before Samuel, and falleth down naked all that day and all the night; therefore they say, 'Is Saul also among the prophets?'
